I had such a great little blog vacation, but I am so glad to be back posting projects for you guys today!! I hope you all had a wonderful and safe holiday! It is still so hard to believe it is 2011. I made well over 300 projects last year with my cricut and I would imagine I will make that plus some this year, so stay tuned. Joy and I have some great things up our sleeves for this next year. You are not going to want to miss it!

The beginning of a new year means the start of a diet for me. I have been mentally getting prepared for it for a few weeks now. Fingers crossed it goes well. I am very determined!

On to the flower card....It have to tell you that the Mother's Day Bouquet mini is just one of the best mini's so far! I just love flowers and this cartridge has no shortage of beautiful ones! You can just layer these cuts so many ways and make yourself a paper flower garden that is so beautiful to look at and fun to make!

I cut the flowers the layers out at 3 1/2", 3", and 1". The leaf is cut at 2".

This stamp and paper are from Papertrey Ink.

I added a button in the middle to add just a little more sweetness to the card.

I got the yummy ribbon from a quaint little shop in Waxahachie, TX.

Thanks so much for dropping by today! Make sure to stop by tomorrow and check out the fabulous project Joy has for you! I just love everything she makes!

Make sure you stop by my blog today too because I have a card posted made using the NEW Best of Pixar cartridge. I just love that cartridge!! click here ==> Courtney Lane Designs

As always you made a beautiful card. I bought so many cartridge presents for myself this holiday season and you are making me want to give up my resolution that I don't need anymore until I fully explore my other new ones.

I ordered this cartridge for those beautiful flowers! Your card looks GORGEOUS MELANIE! I LOVE that paper and the colors... just wow! and good luck with your diet... I gave up on diets a lonnnnggg time ago! :o)

I'm feeling your pain! I, too, am beginning a diet. NOT a New Year's Resolution. But I have also been trying to mentally psyche myself up for it for several weeks. Good luck! And I'll be anxious to see how you're doing with that, as well as you're lovely creations!

This is the #1 cart I want from the new releases, so thanks for featuring it today. Love the card, you always know how to use pattern and color so well. I spend way to much time choosing. I also am starting my diet today, so good luck to us both.

Realy enjoyed the holidays but so glad they're over and things can get back to normal. Love this card and am looking foreward to getting the cartridge. I love flowers and this one will be perfect for making so many things with.

Melanie, I LOVE that card! That cartridge might have to go on my list if that is an example of the flowers! I just got that PTI paper in a box of things my husband got me for Christmas ~ LOVE it!thanks for sharingSusan

Good luck on the diet Melanie. I've been a chunkette most of my life, so I know how hard it is to lose. Love the card. I have no idea how many things I made last year... I could figure it out I guess, except doing that would take too much time away from creating! Take care,Hugs, Jess

I am a new cricut user (just got mine a few days ago). I was searching around for things to create with my new cricut and came across this blog.. I love the fact that the cards you make with the cricut are not the plain old cards you buy in the stores.. They are so much more.. This is really a beautiful card.. I can't wait to try it myself.. Thank you so much for sharing this..

Very Pretty! I would not have thought to use those papers for a flower(different colors, same design) love it :) I've followed you ladies(Joy, Melanie & Tammy) since the beginning of "Christmas with the Cricut". I'm so thankful that you all have shared your Talents with me. May God bless each one of you in 2011 :-)

Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful card! I really want to make more cards this year since we don't have much money for gifts. I figure a handmade card with some pictures of my kids tucked inside would be welcome by most of my family! And thank you for the opportunity to win.lklebs1 at yahoo dot com

What a beautiful card!!! I just love the layering of the flower. It pops up so nice...really cute!! Sounds like I just might have to check this cart out...thanks for sharing and for a chance...Sherrie K.jskoning@msn.com

Beautiful card!!! I felt the same way about this cart when I checked it out, but expense wise...I have sworn off anything that isn't absolutely necessary!!! Very sad, but true. I have yet to play with some of the newest carts I've bought!!!! So unless I win it, I'm without it...so thanks a whole lot for the chances!!

Loved the card. The combination of patterns and soft colors worked very well.Did you added any embossing to this project or was it strictly the cut outs and stamping?Very nice blog, I will definitely continue coming back to check your projects and get inspired.
